We aren't going to get any launch type announcements from this. Though we will probably get updates for all of the launch titles hopefully. (Especially hoping for more in-depth Project H.A.M.M.E.R. information)

Ill rather get more new titles announced than the date of release, or more video footage.
i, personally, would like to know launch date in order to plan accordingly. price isnt so much an issue since i know it wont exceed $250 and i'll probably limit myself to two games, so saving up would be easy.
if i knew what day it would release on i could request off from work, go to the mall i work at anyway and get in before it opens, walk passed my store and say hi to whomever is opening that day so they can laugh that even though its my day off i'm still in the mall, walk down to the gamestop thats a few stores away from mine and wait until the doors open at 10 so i could be the first to get it. then i can rush home and play it all day, and probably the next day. i get two days off a week, if i could get them back to back (launch day/day after) i'll be really happy. if i could i'd take a week off from work but thats a little drastic, and i wouldnt get paid so its not all that worth it. call me a loser for doing it that way, but i miss the days of being a kid and simply ditching school, or atleast showing up late just to stay home and play my new video game/ game console. that really is the only way i can do it.
whats everyone elses reasone for wanting to know the launch date so bad?

Knowing the price of the system, games, controllers and such would help me plan.
Post by: couchmonkey on August 23, 2006, 08:16:48 AM
Same thing with launch date, it seems to be narrowing down now, but I've heard people suggesting everything from the last half of October to the end of November. The realistic date now seems to be somewhere in early-mid November, but again, I'm tired of my expectations bouncing back and forth.
Obviously, a lot of people care, these two topics seem to get more responses than anything except maybe Twighlight Princess and Red Steel.
Edit: planning plays a bit of a role in it too, I may take one or two days off. I don't need to know it right now to do that, but at least a couple of weeks in advance.
Post by: Ceric on August 23, 2006, 08:49:40 AM
On the VC I want information on that because before we really got game info we got VC info and then they went silent. We've gone a longways with no updates. It's a big feature. We are all interested in.
I'm tired of Game announcements. It's nice to have a lot of games announced. I rather like the large amount of support. Right now though I rather have more information about the games that are already announced. Especially the likes of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. and FF:CC:CB. More MP info and the like.
Thats why I'm anxious.
Post by: JonLeung on August 23, 2006, 09:00:58 AM
Wasn't there something about some foreign-language magazine (Spanish? It was called Nintendo Accion or something) that said that their magazine (which would come out on the 15th) would say the date and price. Now I don't know if this refers to the North American release/date and price but if the beans are spilled around that time, it could mean that this Sept. 14 event might reveal to us the date and price we've all been wanting to hear.
Though like I said in another topic...hearing the release date doesn't make the Wii come any faster. Not at all. Either you're waiting for the date that you know, or you're waiting for the announcement of the date and then you're waiting for that release date. Same difference. And I have money saved up regardless of the price (the "realistic" estimates, anyway) so it's not like I have to plan to save up money or anything.
I do want the Wii as much as anybody, but apparently Nintendo wants to hold all their secrets for as long as they can.

Also I found this on Gamespot.11/14/2006 its the date Madden 07 is supposed to be released, so I take from that the console should relese close to that date unless its spekulation but they had it as the actual date instead of TBA like the others.
So has any stores begun taking pre-orders already?

If ease is your concern, pre-ordering online is even easier. My EBgames.com Cube showed up on the broken launch day (Friday). It couldn't be easier/lazier if I had the box opened for me. But then that would ruin the spirituality of the moment.
Besides, not everybody has the luxury of an endlessly stocked Walmart. They haven't penetrated every crack of the country just yet.

Based on the image, I would hazard a guess there might be one or two unknown games. Beyond that, I don't think we'll get a date. As much as the thought pains me, we'll probably have to wait that additional week for TGS.

Hard factual info also makes the mainstream hype all the more convincing. No more guesswork, which proper journalists are supposed to hate, but simple OFFICIAL details straight from the big Japanese horses mouth.
Personally, I'd be much more pleased if they outlined a clear VC strategy (especially the pricing).
Anyway, I'm patient. Carry on Nintendo!

Well that is what I wondered but the more I thought about the more it makes sense. I am not expecting any huge announcements like release date along with price, but instead they will be showing off games. Since TGS is such a big event Nintendo probaly thought it would be best to invite people to a Wii party so they are guaranteed to get a chance to play the Wii games, because at TGS the long lines could not only impact your opportunity to play these games but also limit your time. So really I think this event is looking to be an event for a select number of people to get in alot of playing time with their games.

I don't think it's upper Nintendo's doing. Besides E3, which would be considered an event for everyone, NOA hasn't had it's own event. The Japan will have TGS, Europe Leipzig, and Reggie Fun Day is what the US is getting for their conference. It's sort of archiac when you look at it. It's like these events where plan like the Internet was not around.
It's going to be an event that will focus on the media and concerns of the US demographic. The Canada branch might get in on it too to save budget. That makes the most sense.
That being said we might get the US price though not a launch date. More hands on and hopefully they'll pass out Devkits to the press at this event. Things like that.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 25, 2006, 05:46:21 AM
So what does Nintendo do at TGS...simple, finally completely outline the Wii24Connect potential, the Virtual Console prices and how it works, and list of all Wii games played to go online in 2007. That would be huge TGS press Conference that will hype all the way into launch date.

Announcing the launch date a month before would be the best of both worlds: it would still be an attention-grabbing "surprise" launch, but it would also give stores (just) enough time to prepare.
edit: this would also (and I know I'm grasping here) be in line with what we've been hearing from developers. Originally, it sounded like they were shooting for an October launch, but now it seems like they're shooting for Novemeber. It sounds to me like this could be classic Nintendo spin control: when ign figured out the GameCube controller's button layout by talking to third parties, Nintendo got third parties to "correct" ign's mockup with misinformation.

OMG it's gonna be ABSOLUTELY HUGE! Remember before the GC launch they announced the entire RE series exclusive? That was MASSIVE! (at the time). Since Wii is a step ahead of GC in everything that means this will be HUGE and possibly the biggest gaming announcement(s) of all time.

No new hardware reveals, except maybe extra attachments. We still need to see the headset/microphone that will be used for communication online.
We will get launch information, price, and games.
So what will be the big surprise? It will be the games. I predict nearly final versions of all launch games including, final graphical builds and final control schemes for games like Metroid Prime, Red Steel, Zelda and more.
I expect new demos of Mario Galaxy to blow us away. And for the Germany demos of Strikers and BWii to be just as awesome as they were before.
Finally, I expect a demo version of Brawl to be on hand to blow the media away. It will be a big huge deal, and Nintendo will even hold a limited tournament with the winner getting a priced limited edition DS.
The supposed hardware news will be the unveiling of Wii24Connect's Virtual Console services. Nintendo will have a partial list of available games at launch that will completely destory Xbox Arcade's game list. We will get a price structure, and see how the interface works. Finally, it will to noted that these purchases can take place on your computer and 24WiiConnect will automatically download them to your Wii, or you can buy access cards in stores that will grant you the ability to download games.
Those are my predictions.

That game would be known as Mario Galaxy
. I think on September 14th will reveal launch price and date, a couple new games, new playable demos of Red Steel, Mario Galaxy. and Metroid Prime 3. I also thing they will announce what will be included with the system which I think will be 2 Wiimotes, 2 nunchuck attachments, Wii sports, headset (so they can have voice recognition), and maybe 1 or 2 free VC downloads.

Yeah, could you imagine getting a limited Edition DS lite with a laser etching of the Smash Brothers Brawl logo on it. It would kick major buttocks.
They could even do this with limited character. If Nintendo could have 5-6 characters ready and perfectly balanced they could have a tournament. If they had more even better.
Other potentially cool suprise games we could get would be:
Wii Brain Training: Now with motion based games to test reflexes and eye hand coordination.
Wii lil Nintendogs: Ok silly name, but Nintendogs with the Wii opens up tons of possibilities that could be amazing for the game.
Kirby Wii: That Kirby Gamecube game disappeared...perhaps it is becoming a Wii game.
Wii Kart Racer: Eventually (it is WILL happen someday) Mario Kart will be upgraded to just Nintendo Kart, and like Smash Brothers will incorporate Nintendo characters from all games. I could see the Wii version being that game. And before you say it would ruin the game. Think about the courses through Mute City, Hyrule, Dream Land, along with levels like Bowser's Castle. It could be a blast. And open the game up for much more intense and crazy racing action.

Thought about it. Think it would ruin the game more. It's having that coherent theme to tie everything together which makes the series distinct. You just get this odd feeling of having say Mario throwing a boomerang. *Shrug* I didn't like how it changed with the arcade version tracks. They didn't all feel like Mario Kart.

Sorry if I am very skeptic, but even when Nintendo does show some impressive stuff, they also tend to overhype minor stuff. I mean, their pre-E3 conference was good but it was NOTHING like the hype it built.
So I am playing it safe with these announcements.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot the basic details of the Virtual console, like prices and games available at launch. Oh and maybe some details on WiiConnect 24.
I doubt they will reveal one last secret of the console, we pretty much know what the console will have.
And from the wishful thinking department, maybe an updated SSB Brawl. trailer revealing some of the new characters, including some third party ones.

We already know for sure it's going to be released within the next few months and much cheaper than the competition.
So I'm really hoping for new game announcements. Or at the very least new footage of that Disaster game which would practically be a new game announcement since we saw nothing but a promo FMV which everyone forgot about already.

I think the top half should be the cover of WiiSports. In any case, I'm no longer worried about how Nintendo will convey the Wii concept in ads. That's perfect!

September 14th Weather Forecast:
Should be Sunny with clear skies, highs up to 87 degrees, lows down to 52, and 0% chance of precipitation.
Note: Above weather forecast was for Oregon only.

• Forward compatibility in Zelda: TP
• The Wii (then Revolution) controller being an upside down mouse with a blue light?
• Sonar in the controller (speaker)
Look at that track record, pretty damned 71% if I do say so myself. Now I bring you the final (mostly craptacular) speculation of them all!!!
Sometime is the past I said "fear not, for there are other specs". Well, that was wrong. Then why did I bring that up you say? I don't know. But what I do know is Nintendo has been full of surprises for about the last 18 months but enough of my useless pontificating.
On September 14th 2006 ??????
Nintendo buys Sega, Shenmue 3 Wii Exclusive, Jak and Daxter playable in SSB:B

Hell, this announcement could allow Nintendo (IF games were ready) to launch in the US first alone in October, then November in Japan, and December in Europe.
Imagine: Mid October having 1 million Units available for us.
Mid November having 1.5 million Units available for Japan.
Early December having about 1 million Units available for Europe.
An additional shipment could be sent to each market before the end of the holiday season.
This strategy could totally neuter PS3s launch excitement, and more importantly software sales.

"We are going to deliver the kiosk on the 28'th of October. You should probably have it set up that night, don't wait for the morning...You should probably vacuum your store as well, make it all pretty looking. Oh, and move all large objects away from you front counter, enough to make room for a huge line of customers, no reason. Is your store open the next day, that's entirely coincidentally a Sunday right? You should probably open up even if you have religious reasons, no reason, who said there was a reason, I didn't say there was a reason........28'th"
Then people might suspect foul play is afoot.

Alot of speculation is being made that we will see an early release, but not so early as October 2nd, I'm guessing for a early November release if not late October then.

You'd think that with all this Wii hype and everyone expecting them to say the date and price now, they would call it "The Nintendo Wii Relase Date and Price Revelation Press Conference" to hype it up a bit more, if they're going to reveal such details.
Then again, maybe they could be revealing a lot more than just a release date and price... o_0

When does the event in japan start for EST? I want to know what time i have to start checking PGC every 2 minutes for news.
No offence to PGC, but I expect things to go something like this:
-Japanese price and launch date announced.
-five hours pass with no update to the main site.
-PGC puts up a press release.
Oh, but you probably meant the forums.
Post by: JonLeung on September 11, 2006, 08:48:20 AM
Of course, my memory could be wrong, but aren't Japanese prices, after conversion, much closer to American/Canadian prices (at least closer than European and Australian prices are)?
So this may be stating the obvious, but the Japanese price, if revealed before the North American price, would lead us to some very close estimates.
I seem to remember the GameCube was cheaper here in Canada when it first came out (at least in some places), even including the 7% GST at the time. Now our GST is 6%, and the dollar is something like 0.90 US, or at least closer than it was in 2001, so if it turns out to be $149.99 US, for example, they may make it $149.99 Canadian instead of $167.67. Then again they may more likely make it $174.99 Canadian, which would be more...but not by much...but still...

Can we introduce a policy of starting a new thread when an event actually happens? It's annoying having to sift through pages upon pages of people "anticipating" the event.
You just say that because you have animated gifs disabled.
Anyway, Donut could just add "real discussion starts on page ..." to the topic title...

You could drive around to the back and get a faulty/broken windshield from the dumpster. Then you could have a complete Cadillac - albeit with a few broken parts - and take that to an auto shop and just get those parts repaired or replaced for a small fraction of the cost of the whole vehicle.
The Wii being as small as it is, could probably be smuggled out whole once, which would probably have a higher success rate than smuggling out a few parts each time for a number of times.

No that is insane. Either keep everything here, and post when the actual news starts...or have one thread.
Title: Nintendo's September Megaton: Japan, The States, and Europe.
Because basically, people are going to wake up and read the Japanese information, and comment, which will lead to US announcements and discussion. One new thread is plenty. I don't want to try to figure which one to comment in and possibly get ignored because everyone is in another thread...its stupid.

Price=179.99 with two wiimotes/nunchucks, Wiisports, basic red,yellow, white hookup
Release Date=November 2nd
New features=built in mic
New games=Kid Icarus and new Miyamoto IP
Virtual Console lineup: 25 VC games, mostly from 3rd parties (also an announcement that Sega CD games will be available in the future)
Launch lineup=20 launch games including ExciteTruck, Project Hammer, Zelda TP and all of Ubisofts announced games along with the other ports, in addition to Elebits
Specs=I doubt specs will be revealed but I have a feeling they are right around what IGN reported on but with slight increases here and there like a 1ghz processor. More ram
Playable games: Near final builds of Red STeel (which I predict to be a much more attractive experience), Zelda: TP, Batallion Wars, Mario Soccer, Mario Galaxy, Project Hammer, Metroid Prime 3, Excitetruck, Ubisofts other titles
On video only: Kid Icarus, Smash Brothers Melee (New footage), Day of Disastor (some gameplay footage), Miyamotos IP
The end

Includes: Two Wiimotes, Wii Sports, a certain number of "points" used to buy VC games (not much, one or two games)
News: -A point system for buying VC games (different games will cost different amounts, not one set price for every system). Certain games will be free with purchase of console game, Metroid with Metroid Prime 3, and MAYBE Zelda with TP.
- No mic sorry. MAYBE headset if you're lucky.
- New accesories, don't know what
-Day of Crisis will be shown
-New IP will be shown
-No Kid Icarus sorry.
-Launch date in November, probably around 14 or something I don't know.
-Launches with games and stuff.
- Black and White available at launch.
-White would match my DS, but black would match my computer =(
-Don't know if I can wait till christmas =(
-BRANDY NEW games to be avaiable on VC
-There WILL be online launch games from at least Nintendo, BIG DAMN TRUCKS
Playable games: Twilight Princess will be shown big time, E3 sucked for TP. Red Steel as well, which won't be as great as everyone is hoping. New sword mechanics though, so that's cool. Some other stuff, Excite Truck, Elebits, HAMMER, whatever.
My final, MEGATON prediction~
None of this will be true, or even revealed tomorrow. Sorry lol.

- New accesories, don't know what
-Day of Crisis will be shown
-New IP will be shown
-No Kid Icarus sorry.
-Launch date in November, probably around 14 or something I don't know.
-Launches with games and stuff.
- Black and White available at launch.
-White would match my DS, but black would match my computer =(
-Don't know if I can wait till christmas =(
-BRANDY NEW games to be avaiable on VC
-There WILL be online launch games from at least Nintendo, BIG DAMN TRUCKS
Playable games: Twilight Princess will be shown big time, E3 sucked for TP. Red Steel as well, which won't be as great as everyone is hoping. New sword mechanics though, so that's cool. Some other stuff, Excite Truck, Elebits, HAMMER, whatever.
My final, MEGATON prediction~
None of this will be true, or even revealed tomorrow. Sorry lol.
Well I do think there is a good chance for Kid Icarus since he is in Smash Brothers, it has been so long since we've seen him in a game it makes little to no sense to have him be a playable character without a game to back him up. On the mic, you may be right but I think if there is a headphone it will be included in order to get companies to utilize the microphone in games. The rest hey those are as good as predictions as anyone, including me

Yeah, I didn't think so. :P
The Ice Climbers were in Melee and we still haven't seen a return of them. And if I had to guess, I think more people know who Pit is before seeing that he is a Smash Brother than the Ice Climbers.
Anyway, I'm not nixing the idea of another Kid Icarus game, and demand for it means a game is possible and even likely. It'll probably be for next year, though, don't want to drown out his comeback with Zelda and Metroid this year!

Also there is now an Australian "event" confirmed, the launch details will be revealed live on national television in a special news story, an unprecedented piece of marketing from Nintendo Australia

Yay for once we aren't getting left behind! This makes me certain we'll get the Wii this year.
